# Max object level refers to the level of recursion the script will delve into
# the objects returned from pyvomi to find serializable facts. The default 
# level of 0 is sufficient for most tasks and will be the most performant. 
# Beware that the recursion can exceed python's limit (causing traceback),
# cause sluggish script performance and return huge blobs of facts.
# If you do not know what you are doing, leave this set to 1.
#max_object_level=1


# Lower the keynames for facts to make addressing them easier.
#lower_var_keys=True


# Host alias for objects in the inventory. VMWare allows duplicate VM names
# so they can not be considered unique. Use this setting to alter the alias
# returned for the hosts. Any atributes for the guest can be used to build 
# this alias. The default combines the config name and the config uuid and 
# expects that the ansible_host will be set by the host_pattern.
#alias_pattern={{ config.name + '_' + config.uuid }}


# Host pattern is the value set for ansible_host and ansible_ssh_host, which
# needs to be a hostname or ipaddress the ansible controlhost can reach.
#host_pattern={{ guest.ipaddress }}


# Host filters are a comma separated list of jinja patterns to remove 
# non-matching hosts from the final result.
# EXAMPLES:
#   host_filters={{ config.guestid == 'rhel7_64Guest' }}
#   host_filters={{ config.cpuhotremoveenabled != False }},{{ runtime.maxmemoryusage >= 512 }}
#   host_filters={{ config.cpuhotremoveenabled != False }},{{ runtime.maxmemoryusage >= 512 }}
# The default is only gueststate of 'running'
#host_filters={{ guest.gueststate == "running" }}


# Groupby patterns enable the user to create groups via any possible jinja
# expression. The resulting value will the groupname and the host will be added
# to that group. Be careful to not make expressions that simply return True/False
# because those values will become the literal group name. The patterns can be
# comma delimited to create as many groups as necessary
#groupby_patterns={{ guest.guestid }},{{ 'templates' if config.template else 'guests'}}
